Elton Brand should retire a Clipper. He's a great role model, and has put in many years of sweat for this franchise without complaint. Brand's loyalty and spirit cannot be swapped for any equal amount of talent or upside.

I hope brand can come back with the kind of determination he had before the 05/06 season... although his numbers last year (~ 20/9/2) were solid, it was a down year after the 24/10/2.5 he averaged in 04/05.

I think it was part Cassell making him that much better, but he also came out with a fire & an athletic edge that he didn't show as much last year.
